Management Commands 4 - 95
Excessive Collisions Number of packets the bridge discarded
because it could not transmit onto the
Ethernet without seeing a collision 16
times in a row.
Received Framing Error Number of Ethernet packets received
without proper framing.
Received Frame Check (FCS)
Error
Number of Ethernet packets received
with bad FCS (Frame Check Sequence) —
usually these and framing errors are seen
together.
Received Overflows This can occur when packets arrive from
one port faster than they can be output
on the other port. As network size
increases, the likelihood of these errors
increases. They are not fatal errors.
Received Buffer Error This error occurs on the receive end
when the Ethernet chip wants to chain
data buffers and does not own the next
buffer.
Babble Failures Number of times the bridge told the
Ethernet chip to send out an illegally long
Ethernet packet.
Receiver Missed Frames Number of times the receiver missed a
frame. This can occur when packets
arrive from one port faster than they can
be output on the other port. As network
size increases, the likelihood of these
errors increases. They are not fatal
errors.
